Granary Wharf · Leeds · Since 2012

Italy lived,
not staged.

A bar, a restaurant, a deli — under a Victorian railway arch on Granary Wharf, run since 2012 by a family who used to feed Milan. Pasta, pizza, antipasti, late-night cocktails. The way it actually is at home.

The cooking

Passion. Tradition. Integrity.
Simplicity since 2012.

We don't bury good produce in cream sauces. The carbonara has guanciale, pecorino, eggs and pepper — and absolutely no cream. The tomatoes for the pizza base are San Marzano. The mortadella came from Bologna. If a dish on this menu seems plain, that's the point.

From the family

Our roots are in Milan. The family business started there in the 1980s, with our parents, and the kitchen at Granary Wharf still cooks from it. Italian food in this country had been frozen and breaded into something else. We opened LIVIN'Italy to put it back where it started.
